Miles from Nowhere

A Round the World Bicycle Adventure

De: Barbara Savage

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

This is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile global bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Miles from Nowhere is an adventure not to be missed!

Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists encountered warmhearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who shoved them off the road, various wild animals (including a roof ape and an attack camel), sacred cows, rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly for two years tested and ultimately strengthened the young couple's relationship.

As their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to mount back up and keep pedaling. It's a story that makes you feel like you've grown right along with the author.

Reading this is very bittersweet, but it is well worth it, as it really shows how a couple can work hard to get past rough patches and really enjoy life together

The writing made me feel as though I was traveling with them.

So well written and read!

I totally enjoyed this book. It felt like I was there. It made me sad to have not been there to ride along with them. I bet it would have been the hardest fun I ever had.

This is one of the most well written and narrated books I’ve listened to, and I have a large library ! I’m ready to hit the road on my bike, and look to help other riders passing through my town, as it’s on the Trans-America route. I’ll definitely be talk about this book for awhile.

What a great book!

I loved this travel journal. I've read it two or three times now. It is my favorite bicycle book.
